UNFCU congratulates our DEIB Champion of the Month, Sophia Jeanmary, Manager & Lead Executive Support! “Embracing the tenets of the DEIB movement has not only positively transformed my perspective, but has also endowed me with the ability to adapt to change and maintain agility within the organization. My involvement in the DEIB BOLD project proved to be transformative, as it equipped me with the skills to engage in challenging yet professional dialogues while remaining receptive to diverse viewpoints. This experience underscored the importance of recognizing that individuals are shaped by their unique knowledge, thus teaching me to refrain from personalizing circumstances on differing perspectives. The DEIB Business Resource Groups at UNFCU have demonstrated exceptional commitment, particularly in facilitating candid conversations. It is imperative that we continue to delve into the array of biases that we unconsciously harbor, taking into account societal norms. I consider myself privileged to be part of UNFCU’s progressive journey, as the organization endeavors to nurture an environment that is inclusive and secure for all members of our distinct community.” Sophia hails from the enchanting island of Haiti. She derives great pleasure from activities such as swimming, visiting the beach, and indulging in barbecues. Furthermore, she is an avid reader, particularly drawn to literature encompassing historical narratives and self-improvement. Her favorite quote is, “You were born an original; don’t become a copy.” – Coco Chanel #unfculife #unfcuculture #unfcupeople #peaceofmind #greatplacetowork #creditunions #diversity #equity #inclusion #belonging #DEIB
